Doughnuts!!!

 Saturday morning I woke up with a horrible craving for doughnuts. While talking to my mom she suggested that I just make some. What a great idea!!! Or so I thought! It really wasn't that bad, it just took me a long time to get out of bed and get my butt moving! Once I found a recipe that I wanted to try on Pinterest it took me a awhile to get everything all situated and organized. I thought it would help the process go much smoother. And I am sure it did, but with the boys asking literally every minute if they could help me, my patience started wearing thin!! 

Finally, we were ready. 

The dough was rising and I had cleaned up the mess we had made so far. 

I started wondering if I could get away with finishing the project by myself, but I had only rolled out a few doughnuts when the boys caught on and came running to help.

I'm sad this picture is blurry. He was a really good helper, I just was tired by this time. I need to have more patience with my kids. Sigh. 

These are not very good pictures, because like I said, my patience was pretty much gone and I had given up on caring about it all, especially pictures. I regret it now! 

Mason didn't quite grasp the concept of it, so he would cut out a doughnut and then roll it back up into a ball again. Oh well. He had fun and that is all that matters. 

Sam was in flour heaven! She thought it was the greatest thing ever! She was quite the mess when we got done!! 

The boys were really impatient with letting the doughnuts rise again, so they were sort of flat. It didn't effect the taste at all. They were still sooo yummy! They were supposed to taste like the Krispy Kreme doughnuts and I think they came really close to being like the real thing! Maybe if they had been allowed to rise a little more.... 

Some of the finished product! The boys loved them and Vaughn said they were super yummy! Maybe next time I'll just have to have Vaughn home to help me (he was at a funeral) or not try and do it while I am almost ready to have a baby and hungry and tired!! Not a good combo!!
